Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Software Defined Radio
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our research analyzes security policy enforcement issues inherent to handheld Software Defined Radio (SDR) devices. We have developed an abstraction for Dynamic Policy Enforcement (DPE) for a SDR system which consists of three distinct modules that monitor changes in external conditions, validate system configuration based on those conditions and a given policy, and implement changes to ensure policy compliance. In order to demonstrate the viability of our system, we created a prototype that implements the roles and responsibilities of our abstraction in conjunction with a prototype SDR system previously developed by NCSA that is based on the GNU SDR software.

English-language policies about the desired behavior of computer systems often suffer from translation errors when implemented with a proliferation of low-level rules governing access control, resource allocation and configuration. To solve this, Dynamic Policy Enforcement systems replace these low-level rules with a relatively small number of semantically grounded, machine-understandable polic...
متن کاملA Design Workflow for Software Defined Radios
Current technology and policy have created an apparent spectrum scarcity, a situation in which it seems there is not enough available RF spectrum to deploy the next generation of wireless services. It has been shown that this appearance is incorrect because the majority of licensed spectrum is unutilized. In order to address this problem a new technology, the spectrum sensing cognitive radio, h...

Because of the centralized, static nature of current spectrum allotment policy, wireless communication is confronting two significant problems: spectrum scarcity and deployment delays. Current systems are significantly impacted by the lack of access to unused spectrum, and existing spectrum management procedures are too inflexible to react to dynamic operational needs. The policies are static a...
متن کاملA Policy Reasoner for Policy-based Dynamic Spectrum Access
Policy-based dynamic spectrum access is one of the spectrum access models being considered by regulators and researchers for regulating the behavior of cognitive radios. This approach to spectrum access decouples the policyrelated components (i.e., policy management, provisioning, and reasoning) from the radio platform. In policy-based spectrum access, the policy reasoner plays a critical role—...
متن کاملCognitive Radio Communications and Software Defined Radio
Increasing demands for high speed wireless access gave rise to new approach to radio communications and spectrum management – Cognitive Radio (CR). One of the key components of cognitive radio – dynamic spectrum access – shows a way to overcome the scarcity of one of the natural resources – radio frequency spectrum. The research in the domain of CR spans the wide area from information and signa...
